I recently made this video of myself pretending to be a jedi sith lord like the one's from star wars. Several of my friends at school have said "how'd you do that?" Well Here's how:

To finish it off, I decided to try meddling with keyframes and added in a purple 'orb' of energy and an explosion at the end. Sound effects are from the library in Apple Soundtrack Pro.

Here's the finished product, still in need of fixing the cutoff on the sides at the end:
